The Maryland Alumni News

Among the many developments of
thf Alumni Association's work during
the past year, nothing will be more
appreciated, we are sure, than the
appearance of the .Maryland Alumni
NEWS in printed form as a substitute
for The Log which has been visiting
our membership for the past three
years.

It is pleasing to announce that,
through the cooperation of the presi-
dent and the University authorities,
we are able to consummate our long-
delayed plans in getting out the
printed publication which will contain
news of developments at the Institu-
tion, as well as items concerning t In-
activities of our alumni members.
Through the cordial cooperation of
President Pearson, we are thus launch-
a new era of alumni interest
cooperation in the development
of the association and the Institution.
For practical purposes, it was besl
to have the paper printed and pub-
lished under the auspices of the Uni-
versity, through the Bureau of Infor-
mation. It will be edited by alumni
representatives and its make-up will
continue to carry alumni news, as was

emphasized in Tin Log.

We shall hope to have a renewed
interest among our members in this
publication. We are hoping that more
and more alumni will send in news
items and other features that will
add to the interest and stimulate ac

tivities of alumni groups, wherever

they may be.

The publication will be sent tree
ill alumni of the Institution. It

It is needless to say that I
am proud to have the first issue

of the .M Mil !..' Nl Al.l M.N'i NEWS

go forward to our membership

u n d e I hay administration as
president of the association. I
am convinced this forward
will mean much to our me
ship as well as to the Un
sity.

in speaking for the Alt
Hoard and Association, J am
deeply grateful to the preskjetrJ
and University authorities for
making it possible to lVdUfru-
rate the first issue of the .Mary-
land Alumni News. May it

cany a word of cheer to every
alumnus of the Institution.

II. C. Whiteford,

President Pearson

Proud of Progress

To The Alumni :

The improvement in the ap-
pearance of the alumni publica-
tion, we like to think, is typical
of the progress of the Univer-
sity of Maryland.

The College Park Schools of
the University have been show-
ing constant improvement since
their establishment in 1 8 5 G.
We hope the time will never
come when loyal alumni cannot
find that improvements are be-
ing made.

I congratulate the alumni and
their executive officers upon the
fine progress being made in the
alumni organization. Alumni
of some other institutions have
gone further than ourselves
along this line, and we will bene-
fit from their experiences. Their
efforts, as ours, are based upon
loyalty to Alma Mater and an
honest desire to be of help to
her.

R. A. Pearson,

President of the University.

Proposed Amendment

of Interest To Alumni

At the recent meeting of the Alumni
Hoard, April 11, Mr. J. H. Mitchel and
Mr. C. W. Cole were appointed a com-
mittee of two to report to the asso-
ciation on June 9 concerning the new
amendment to the constitution which
is concerned with the abolishment of
the present dues of $2 and the estab-
lishment of an Alumni Loyalty Fund.
The proposed amendment is herewith
published for the information of the
membership.

The purpose of the new amendment
would be to eliminate the present di-
vision of the alumni ranks into paid
and unpaid members and to adopt a
broader and more acceptable plan for
financing the association.

The present article, number 10,
reads as follows: The annual dues
shall be $2 per year, provided that
the members of each succeeding grad-
uating class shall be exempt from
the payment of dues during the first
year after graduation.

The proposed amendment reads as
follows: In the place of annual dues
there is hereby established the Alumni
Loyalty Fund to which the whole
alumni of the Institution, including all
members, shall be asked from year to
year to contribute in such amounts as
may be given. It will be the duty of
the officers and the Alumni Board to
allocate the proportional amount re-
ceived from the membership for the
support and conduct of the associa-
tion's business, the remainder to be-
come an endowment fund or to be used
for the promotion of any other pur-
pose that is desired or directed by the
association or prescribed by the
donor.

SYMONS GRATIFIED
It is most gratifying to your
secretary to be able to take part
in the issuing of the first printed
publication for our Alumni As-
sociation. The Log has served a
most useful purpose : nd its de-
velopment into the Maryland
ALUMNI News will be welcomed,
I am sure, by every member of
our association.

We are indebted to President
Pearson, also Mr. B y r d, in
charge of the Bureau of Infor-
mation, and other University
authorities for their generous
consideration and forward -
looking policy in assisting the
establishing of this publication.
I feel sure it will mean much to-
wards binding our membership
together for advancing the in-
ts of the Institution and
the association, as well as help-
ing our individual members to
greater accomplishments in
life.

three companions and as many port-
able combination sending and re-
ceiving sets, he penetrated 300 miles
inland to the interior of the Malay
Peninsula.

On this inland voyage, Wells and
his colleagues fought giant snakes
and malaria. They caught and tamed
deer scarcely larger than house cats,
and honey bears about the size of
dogs.

Their lives were in great danger
for a period of time when the com-
mander of the Dutch outpost where
they had established a base camp was
murdered. The danger passed only
when two guilty natives had been
captured and the savages ceased to

troops.

Invents Antenna

Wells devised an antenna variation
that is of great utility in eliminating
the outbursts of static which hamper-
ed the use of wireless in the tropics,
and determined by careful tests that
jungle foliage absorbs nine-tenths of
the radio signal passing through it.
While in the jungle, Wells maintained
communication between his party and
amateur wireless stations as far dis-
tant as California.

Loyalty

Loyalty! what a lot of meaning is
packed into that little word and how
much, oftentimes, depends upon it
for success.

"The value of Loyalty" was the sub-
ject of a mighty fine address deliver-
ed ..ii June '•' to the members of the
Alumni Association assembled here
at College Park for the Annual Re-

Following are extracts from Mr.
Burruss' speech that should prove of
interest and value to all:

"The only reason I am trying to
qualify as a man who has spoken
of loyalty is because I have realized
the pleasure of being loyal to my
Institution's activities. I do not claim
any credit for so doing. I am per-
fectly selfish in my loyalty. You cannot
expect loyalty from anybody against
his own best interest. It is wrong
t<> expect one to be loyal on emotional
grounds. You cannot expect loyalty
if it is not sound and if it is not to
- interest to be loyal. It is to
your interest to be loyal to Maryland,
and it is to your interest to make the
other fellow see it. It is a problem
of salesmanship and ability to make
the other fellow see it as you see it.
*****

"Talk with enthusiasm. Tell about
Maryland University and what it is
doing and make others do likewise
and there is absolutely no limit to
what can be accomplished by this or-
ganization. I know it is possible.
.Make your organi/at ion strong and

the financial end will take care of it-

University of Maryland if it dwindled

Dr. R. V. Truitt Marries

Miss Mary Harrington

Dr. Reginald V. Truitt, professor of
aquiculture, was married on the eve-
ning of June 18 to Miss Mary Har-
rington, daughter of the former Gov-
ernor of Maryland, Emerson C. Har-
rington, of Cambridge, Md. The
nuptial ceremony, which was one of
the social events of note for the
spring season on the Eastern Shore,
united two of the oldest families of
the State, the Harringtons of Dor-
chester County and the Truitts of
Worcester County.

Dr. Truitt, who is the son of the
late Captain George Truitt, of Snow
Hill, Md., was graduated from the
Maryland State College in 1914, and
since i:i]8 has been professor of aqui-
culture at the University of Maryland.
During his stay on the campus he
has received many honors, both from
the students nod from nationally
known scientific bodies.

Assistant Secretary

George Findlay Pollock, who was
recently appointed assistant secretary
of the Alumni Association and assis-
tant in the office Of the presiden!
the University, is a graduate of the
class of 1923.

He is a native of Montgomery
County, entering the University from
Gaithersburg High School in the fall
of 1919. lie received bis II. s. ,

ome of the group organizations dur-
ing the year he felt that the members
should hear from these groups. J.
P. Mudd, '07, reported first for the
Philadelphia group. Herbert Balkan,
'18, of New York, told of the enjoy-
able meetings they were having. Dr.
Franklin gave an inspiring talk about
the progress of the Cumberland
group. Hanson Mitchell, '98, spoke
of the future plans of the Baltimore
lUp. E. P. Zalesak, '25, reporting
for the "Old Line Club" in Washing-
ton, issued a challenge by saying that
he represented the "best group." H.
R. Shoemaker, '17, of Frederick Coun-
ty reported a good attendance at a
recent banquet. H. M. Carroll, '18, of
Harford County, made known that his
group was coming fast. C. W. Cole,
'21, of Baltimore County told of prog-
ress with future plans. Bill Hill, '24,
<>f Prince George's County, spoke of
the recent organizing of a group in
this county. Then the "baby" cried
out, Calvert County; this group was
formed just two weeks ago and yet
sent Frank Day, '20, to represent
them. Here is our plan for next
year: More Groups, More Reports,
and Many More present.

Following these reports a distin-
guished orator, Mr. W. B. Burruss,
of Oakland, Maryland, was introduced
by President Whiteford. Mr. Burruss
gave a very inspiring talk on "Loyal-
ty." This speech would arouse your
enthusiasm and loyalty like seeing
"Snitz Snyder" or "Mike Stevens"
make a dash of 7.") yards for a touch-
down in the last few minutes of play-
to win for old Alma Mater. You
would rise to your feet in wild ap-
plause at such a feat — well, we did
for Mr. Burruss, to the echo of his
splendid message. Extracts from his
speech will be found in the editorial
column of this issue. Don't fail to
read it.

Loyalty Fund Discussed

A report on the Loyalty Fund was
made by Hanson .Mitchell", '98, chair-
man, suggesting the fund as a sub-
stitute for the present system of
annual dues. This was followed by
arguments pro and con. After some
discussion it was laid on the table to
be brought up before the Alumni
Board with the understanding of hav-
ing it as a separate fund, and the
regular annual dues to continue.

Dr. 1.. I!. Broughton, 'OS. chairman
nt the auditing committee, reported
that the treasury book had been ex-
amined and found O. K. A copy of
the financial statement was given to
each member present.

Dr. Broughton also, as chairman of
committee on reunions, said that he
had arranged for the classes to be
together at the annual luncheon.

Lacrosse Team Makes
Good Showing In 1930

A line year in athletics was brought

to a stirring close when the Maryland
team made a sensational

finish to defeat Hopkins in Baltimore

on May 24, by 6 to 0, and to go over
to Annapolis the following Saturday
and rout Navy. ."> to 1. It was the
worst boating either team ever had
in the stick-wielding pastime and more
than offset the defeat by St. John's,
when the Old Line twelve, with sopho-
mores tilling some of the important
jobs, had not been fully developed.

Maryland's great finish and 'bo
fact that Hopkins beat St. John's
after the latter's win over the Old
Liners, may serve to give the College
Park twelve the No. 1 position when
the ranking committee of the Inter-
collegiate Lacrosse Association meets
in December. However, the worst
the Old Liners can get is to share the
top ladder with Hopkins. St. John's.
or some other team that lost only one
game. However, only Maryland. St.
John's, and Hopkins have logical
claims and the Old Liners appear to
hold the edge.

Against Hopkins and Navy, the Old
Liners, coached by Jack Faher. with
Ivan Marty as his aide, played almost
perfect lacrosse, the one goal scored
by Navy being a lucky, long shot that
would not be good one time in fifty.

Bill Evans, out home of the Mary-
land team, with 38 goals, led the
country in scoring for the second
year in succession, and is conceded to
be easily the year's greatest player
and one of the greatest of all time.

The College Diploma

The question has often been asked,
"Of what real value is a college di-
ploma?" To which it must be answer-
ed that the value of a college diploma
depends very largely upon the value
of the individual who receives it, for,
as in a cross-country race, so it will
be in life — some will be leaders, others
will take second place, still others,
third, and many will be content to be
"also rans," or plodders. The plod-
ders, however, are very necessary.

And so with the race that is now on
l'or the thousands who graduated last
spring from various schools and col-
leges. The university has given them
opportunities for cultural development
and instruction in professions that
will aid them to advance their finan-
cial interests in the battle of life.

The diploma not only indicates that
the individual has met the require-
ments necessary for graduation but
that through contact with instructors
and fellow students, participation in
athletics and social affairs, he has ac-
quired mental and spiritual develop-
ment that will go far to make him a
good citizen; a citizen who will be
mindful of the rights of others, toler-
ant without weakness, one who will
believe in the higher things of life, one
who will he capable in his chosen Held
of endeavor, and one who will help
those less fortunate.

The college not only makes a definite
effort to give the individual sufficient
knowledge of how to make a living
bat it also goes further in teaching
him how to liVi . To many the diploma
means a great deal, but to many more
it is prio :

Clark Beach, '27, Is

California Rancher

The following letter from Clark
Beach, class of 1927, we believe is one
of the most interesting that has come
into this office in many a day and we
are sure that members of the associa-
tion will appreciate reading it. Mr.
Beach, who is secretary of the Tejon
Ranchos, of Kern and Los Angeles
counties, California, sent the letter to
Dr. T. B. Symons, secretary of the
Alumni Association.

"I appreciated very much your re-
sponse to my letter of December and
your interest in my activities. You
asked me at that time what was the
main source of revenue for the ranch.
It is exclusively a 'cow outfit', a
matter of great pride to them here. No
side interests, although there is prob-
ably a wealth of minerals and abun-
dant opportunity for agricultural de-
velopment when a water supply is
made available. The vast range

exists now only for the 'cattle grazing
on a thousand hills'.

"Tejon Ranchos is a great cattle em-
pire that has changed little from the
time that it was acquired from the
Spanish grantees. General E. F.
Beale. a Washingtonian, first bought
and consolidated the grants of which
it was composed and held it against
the Indian and white marauders when
this section was lawless. Kit Carson,
Alexander Godey, and various noted
Us of that time were often found
at Beale's adobe ranch-house and, no
doubt, their reputation helped to de-
fend the Ranchos against Vasquez,
Murietta, and the other less notable

bandits who coveted the sleek cattle of
the Tejon. Rose Station, the ancient
tavern on the old post road, has sold
its last vino and carried out its last
victim in a shooting scrape and fort

on in Grapevine Canyon no longer

threatens the lawless with vengeance
of the r. s. Army. Yet there are

heros here still.
"Tony Araujo is vaquero foreman.

the best cowboy in California! He is
dark and slim and full of laughter,
but to cowmen on the many ranchos in
California, to the newspapers, and to
the movies, he is the great Araujo
of the Tejon. He leads his dark horse-
men. Indians and Spaniards all, over
the plains and hijrh mountains in the
same routine that varies not a bit
from that of years ago. No network
of fences and small corrals on the
Tejon. If a steer on the northern tip
of the rantre takes a whim to go walk-
ing, it may travel southward and
southwestward 80 miles before it
reaches the fence that means that
Tejon steers may go no further.

"The vaqueros ride a vast range here.
The Tejon lands include broad plains
at the southeastern end of the San
Joaquin valley, the crescent of the Te-
hachapi Mountains that half encircle
them, and a considerable stretch of the
Mojave desert on the other side. Comb-
ing the plains, the canyons, the moun-
tain tops for the cattle, the vaqueros
round-up a herd each day for a 'rodeo'.
Then the cowboy band surrounds the
'melee of hoofs and heads' while
Araujo and his lieutenant ride through
them — parting out calves for brand-
ing, dehorning, and castrating, and
beef for the packers. (Fine beef it is,
too. Some of our cattle, bred from
registered Durham and Hereto rds,
make the stalwart 'Bull Durham' look
puny.) When the day T 's work is done,
they bai'becue their dinner in the open
and spread their bed rolls on the
windy desert or in a mountain canyon.

"I sometimes ride with them for a
few hours when they are working near
headquarters. Three years ago mine
was the rare privilege to be one of
them for a summer season. It is a
spirited life and makes you wonder if
we 'white collar men' are on the right
track after all. Being secretary here
is a princely position, in a way, but it
is lacking in local color. Except for
horseback rides and occasional trips
to mountain camps, I see little of the
ranch except the vista through the
casement of my adobe office. That is,
however, picturesque for a Maryland-
er. You can see pomegranate trees
blossoming on the edge of a dark-
green orange orchard, and, above and
far beyond, mountain peaks, still
snow-capped at the end of .May.

death of the father of H. C. (Curley)
By id. A man of noble character and
pleasing personality, .Air. Byrd won for
himself many friendships and was a
prominent citizen of his native town

Football Is In Air

Center Is A Problem

Although swimming is more in

order right now, football is in the air

at Maryland and there is a lot of talk
about the gridiron pastime and the

i Hd Liners' chances.

"Curley" Byrd got a fairly good line
on his charges in spring practice and
feels that he may have a fair measure
of success in the extremely difficult
schedule, if he can find a man capable
of playing the center job in the right
style.

He is counting a great deal on Hob
Wilson, ISO-pound, six-foot center
who played reserve guard last fall, to
hold down the center berth, and he

has given evidence that he will come
through.

However, Wilson was kept out of
basket-ball and baseball, other sports
in which he is highly proficient, be-
cause of an operation on his arm. and.
of course, this makes him somewhat of
an uncertain quantity.

As the players are due to report on
September 1 for practice, more details
will be given about the outlook in the

next issue of the NEWS.

Hard Schedule For Stick men

Maryland will play an even tougher
schedule next spring than it did in the
past season. Syracuse, Penn State,
St. John's. Rutgers, Hopkins, and
Navy are included in the eight games
so far arranged. Two more con!'
will be added.

KPN ions and "get-together"
meetings of the alumni in different

localities are necessary for the prog-

personally acquainted with the play-
ers.

their dinners jointly with the football

opportunity to show your interest,
spirit, and enthusiasm toward the rep-

Food For Thought

With the beginning of the football
on many topics are ripe for dis-
cussion. For example, the fact that
rley" Byrd is about to begin his
l'.Hh year as director of athletics at
the Old Line School should prove of
interest to every one whose heart is
in tune with the fine athletic record
chat has been made by the University
during the past decade. "Curley" de-
cs much praise for the fine stand-
ards he has set at his Alma Mater
dining this time, not only as head
coach but as assistant to the presi-
dent.

Incidentally it might be well to
mention here, while so much is being
heard these days of football material
"from outside sources," that 80
cent, of the men reporting this fall
for football will be from the State of
.Maryland. Xo finer endorsement of
athletics at Maryland can be found
than in the fact that during 1930 the
University will oppose the Naval
demy in football, basket-ball, la-
crosse, baseball, track, tennis, and
country.
Another interesting bit for con-
dition is just how the Old Line
ball team is going to make out in
ame schedule, the hardest
a Maryland team has ever tackled,
ainly "Curley" has some interest-
ing combinations with such stellar
players as George Chalmers and "Bill"

year and who received three letters

Reports Number ol Interesting Ex-
periences With American
Oil Companj

"l-M" Tenney, '26, can tell something

in the way of experiences in China.
i." who left the United States in
the tall of L928, recently wrote to I
Zulick, '28, about his trip. An oil
company -cut "Ed" to its headquar-
ters in Shanghai in first-class pas-
senger style. His route carried him
first to San Francisco by rail, where
he embarked. The first stop was al
the Hawaiian Islands where a day's
rest was had, which was spent in
seeing the sights. Also, a rest was
had at the Philippine Islands for two
days. From there he went to Shanghai
where it was necessary to land by
small boats w-hich were rowed up
the river to the Oil Company's port
by Chinese oarsmen. Here it was
necessary to spend a few rough days
and live on hardtack rations, followed
by being shown about the plant and
then assigned to the V. M. C. A. in
the American Colony, which was his
quarters when not in the field.

His first assignment was as field
man, his duties being to visit substa-
tions of the company that are manag-
ed by English-speaking Chinese.
These trips last approximately three
months at a time. On the tr.p he is
accompanied by his Chinese inter-
preter who is also a guide. At head-
quarters, in addition to the guide, he
has two other servants, a house man
and a valet, at a cost of approximately
$2.00 per month, plus board.

One of the trips which lasted more
than three months furnished an un-
usual experience. The trip was in
Manchuria, where he spent a period
of four days resting at a monastery.
While there he was entertained by the
monks who described and explained
to him the points of interest. The
chief occupation at the monastery is
the tending and harvesting of crops
that supply all their food. The atten-
dants as a minor occupation make
symbols and emblems for use in
churches in that area of China.

Returning from this trip he had
the misfortune of getting lost through
the fault of his guide. This is easy
in a Chinese village, as the streets
an narrow and all look alike. In re-
ceiving assistance he was taken for a
joy ride in a Chinese taxi. Fortunate-
ly an English representative came
-s his path and dispatched him
to Shanghai in care of English guards
and presented him to his company.

Penalty For Being I. ate

To add to his experience he found
mi his return to quarters that all his
belongings had disappeared. This was
due to a Chinese tradition that when
the master does not return at the
usual time it is assumed that he i^
lot or killed. In this case his valet

Don't Forget!

falls heir to his belongings. As he
was overdue his valet acted accord-
ing to traditions.

When at headquarters the hours of
work are from ( J:00 A. M. to 1:00
P. M. The remainder of the day,
usually, is spent in polo engagements
and other pastimes. Their competitors
are the departments of other inter-
nationally known oil companies that
have stations in China.

The usual stay for an employee in
China is three years; at the end of
that time he is given a six-months
furlough with transportation paid to
and from the United States. On this
bass "Ed" is due for a trip home next
year.

The salary is attractive with pos-
sibilities for numerous increases that
automatically are given on each re-
employment for three-year periods.

In all. 43 players were asked to

was no certainty that all would re-
port and it was noised about that one

In addition to the seven to win the
insignia last fall who are eligible for
more football, ".lack" Xorris, end, and
"BUI" Fisher, tackle, would have won
their letter last season had it not
been for injuries, and "Po/.y" Pergei
also would have gained the reward
had he not made a late start. All
three contributed heavily to the suc-
cess of the team in several gan

it is the line in general and center
in particular that is likely t
the most worry as there appears to
be a wealth of I acklield material.
But the backs cannot go any p
unless they have a line to sup
them and a center is a mighty impor-
tant job on any man's eleven tl

It i- figured that Maryland almost
surely, if all of last year's material
returns, can get a pretty nigh 1
string line, but the question of re-
thai will take
plenty of work to overcome, if it
to be done at all.

Happy I)a.\ s

It is felt, without a doubt, that ii'
alumni of any college or university
were approached and asked if their
college days were "Happy Days" the
majority would answer in the affirma-
tive. In one sense of the word those
days are here again. School is open,
the football season is on and alumni
"Get-together" feeling is in every-
body's bones. You have noticed the
alumni calendar and games that the
alumni "Get-togethers" will follow.
These gatherings are being organized
and conducted by alumni with that
good old spirit for their Alma Mater.
During the month of October there are
three outstanding games that hold the
attention of all alumni and Maryland
followers — Yale. North Carolina, and
Virginia Military Institute. There
will lie many alumni who will attend
these games, and following the game
they should take the advantage of at-
tending the alumni "Get-together."

The meeting of graduates from
College Park and Baltimore colleges
of the University, as well as the foot-
ball team and coaches, is certainly an
attraction. This affords an exception-
al opportunity for the alumni of both
branches to become better acquainted,
to meet the gridiron squad and its
roaches. There does not seem to be

any reason why the Baltimore and
College Park colleges should not be
affiliated with the one big purpose in
mind to make a much larger and
stronger Alumni Association of the
University of .Maryland.

iioct fellow alumni and "hob
nob" over old times is certainly a re-
turn to "Happy Days," and especially
during the season of the outstanding
collegiate -port, football.

W. & L. Football Clash

Features Home-Coming

\\ hili- Maryland will take part in
live foot ball games prior to that time,
the old grads want to keep in mind
that the clash with the Washington
and Lee "Generals" on November 9

will be the "Home-coming Day" at
College Park.

Washington and Lee, one of the

most colorful Dixie teams that Mary-
land plays, always has a good eleven,
and their games with the Old Liners
all have been decided by close scores
and marked by line play.

In their last meeting, in a game in
Y\'ashington in 1928, the Old Liners
won. 6 to 0, when "Snitz" Snyder
toted the ball nearly 50 yards on nine
rushes for the lone touchdown.

Maryland vs. Yale

New Haven, Conn.

When Maryland visits Yale, Octo-
ber 4, it will play its first important
game of the season. Maryland, who
has played Yale for a number of
years, has won many friends and sup-
porters in that section. The winning
of several of the contests and tying
some, as well as always making a
good showing, has aroused no little
interest in this game.

A "Get-together" following the
game, under the enthusiastic guidance
r.f Dr. D. F. ("Danny") Keegan, will
be held at the Garde Hotel, New Ha-
ven, Conn. Don't fail to attend the
game and then the "Get-togetlu p."

Maryland vs. North Carolina

Chapel Hill, N. C.

University of North Carolina, a
team of no little note in the South-
ern Conference and with whom Mary-
land has had relation for many years,
will be encountered in the first South-
ern game, October 11. Following the
game, an alumni "Get-together" will
be held under the supervision of Prof.
R. 11. Ruffner, of N. C. S., at the Caro-
lina Inn, Chapel Hill. We are ex-
pecting a nice gathering of Maryland
Alumni residing in the Southern
States, both from the Baltimore and
( ollege Park colleges.

Maryland vs. \ . M. I.

Richmond. Virginia

The alumni Located in Virginia will
lie given their first opportunity I
the football team in action. October
25, when we meet V. M. I. in Rich-
mond. Taylor Rowe, 316 N. Henry
St., Richmond, an enthusiastic rooter
for Maryland, will be the key man of
the "Get-together." "Massa" Howe is
looking forward to many alumni be-
ing present from all blanches of the

University.

Don't Forget I

Scrimmage With All-Marines

Maryland's varsity gridders got a
lot of good out of three scrimmages
they held with the All-Marines at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, September
13, 15, and 16. The Marines moved
their grid base from Quantico, Va.,
to the Quaker City.

Graduate's Conversation

Recalls Amusing Incident

"Nat" Goodwin. '20, and "Charley,"
the Barber, in a conversation recently
recalled the time when "Andy" Nesbit,
before the Virginia football game in
1921, was suffering from a pain in
his tummy and tried to cure it by us-
ing Sloan's liniment, which proved
a case where the cure was worse than
the ailment. It was a warm day and
the exertion, with the heat and the
sey adding to the irritation, surely
was tormenting to -Andy." Finally
cold water was brought to his aid
with his ft How football players form-
ing a human screen. Fanning also
was necessary to give relief.

"Bucky" Clemson Candidate

For Rooting Championship

"Bucky" Clemson. Baltimore den-
tist, is a candidate for champion root-
. Maryland teams. He is one
alumnus who spends a .meat portion
of his off-hours at College Park and
seldom misses a game of any impor-
tance in any sport. In fact, "Bucky"
runs down frequently during the fall
to watch the gridders practice.

He subscribes to all publications
gotten out at College Park, including
even the year-book, and. when he meets

up with someone in touch with ath-
letic affairs at Maryland, he can ask
more questions than a Philadelphia
lawyer.

It would be fine if every alumnus
would take a leaf out of Clemson's
book.

OUR TEAM

If anybody at the University of
Maryland were superstitious, he cer-
tainly would feel that the football
team representing: the University has
a jinx attached to it, as the Old Liners
certainly have seemed to play in the
toughest kind of luck in their games
with Yale and North Carolina, espe-
cially against the latter.

October 11, at Chapel Hill, Mary-
land apparently did everything just
a little bit better than North Carolina,
yet it lost by four touchdowns to
three. That, from a jinx standpoint,
might be attributed to luck, but noth-
ing- would be further from the fact.

Maryland has a good football team.
That it has offensive power has been
proved by 14 points against Yale,
and 21 against North Carolina. And,
as tar as any consistent running or
forward-passing attack is concerned,
the Old Liners have most of the time
Stopped everything their opponents
have had to offer. Under such con-
ditions it might seem a part in the
victories its opponents have won.
However, the actual truth is that
Maryland has, in comparison with the
teams it has met, an inexperienced
"green" eleven; and the margin
which has g-ivcn the other elevens
victory is the margin that lies be-
tween inexperience and experience.

It has been a case of experience
taking; advantage of the mistakes of
the inexperienced. However, if the
Old Liners continue to profit by their
mistake, there will be another stor\
to tell before the season is over.

Many who saw the two games lost
feel that if .Maryland had held the
ball as well in the Yale game as they
did against North Carolina they would
have won from Yale.

Several members of the foot i. all

team virtually played no football
at all before entering- Maryland. Con-

tently Maryland will gel bettei

President Whiteford

Backs Home-coming

The Home-coming- Day is that day
among days that should receive the
honest BUppoii of every alumnus.
The prog-ram will give every oppor-
tunity I'm- returning- alumni to see
all that Maryland has in the way of
football teams,
also a chance
to wind up the
day in a blaze
of social g-lory
at the Supper
Dance and
Home - coming
Hop in Ritchie
Gymnasium.

I personally
urge as many
alumni and their
friends as pos-
sible to attend
the Supper
Dance in the
Ritchie Gymna-
sium. This, I
feel, is a feature of the day that will
be greatly appreciated by all mem-
bers of the Alumni Association.

I will be there and looking for you.
Don't miss it. Yours,

H. C. ("Dick") Whiteford.

Maryland Alumni Group

Started In Far South

Following the University of North
Carolina football game, Oct. 11 at
Chapel Hill, a group of alumni from
both branches of the University had
an enjoyable "get-together" at Caro-
lina Inn. "Curley" Byrd, Dr. Bomberg-
er, and Mr. Watkins gave the group
very interesting talks on the progress
being made by the institution. In-
spired by the "get-together," several
of the alumni expressed their inten-
tion to return for Home-coming Day.

With an attendance of more than
25 people, this "get-together" will be
the nucleus for forming a large and
prominent Southern Regional Group
of the Alumni Association. Prof. R.
H. Rufl'ner, located at North Carolina
State College, Raleigh, N. C, is the
chairman of the group. Prof. Ruff-
ner will appreciate a visit
alumni whenever they pass his waj .
He also feels that they are off for a
growing organization.

Western Maryland has not been

beaten since the Old Liners took their
measure back in 1928 and doubtless
will go into the December 6 contest
with a clean slate for 1930.

Vanderbilt, which sprang one of the

biggest upsets of the early season by
trimming Minnesota. :;:! to 7, prob-

"M" Club Members Urged

To Attend Home-coming

The day's events for Home-com-
ing have been so arranged that all
alumni may attend with the maxi-
mum of convenience and pleasure.
From the starting whistle for the
"Frosh" game at 10 A. M., there will
not be a dull moment throughout the
day, and a large response from the
alumni, both in
attendance and
enthusiasm, may
be expected.

I particularly
urge a 1 1 "M"
Club members
t o attend the
luncheon and
business meet-
ing at 12:30.
"Bill" Kemp as-
sures us that a
delightful lunch-
eon will be serv-
ed, and the busi-
ness meeting is
a matter of vital
importance to the continued useful-
ness of the club.

Then, too, each "M" Club man is
expected to "whoop up" a lot of inter-
est among his friends and neighbors
of the alumni, not only in the
VY. & L. game, which should be a
corker, but also in the brand-new
idea of a supper-dance, where all the
old boys and their friends may g-ather
immediately after the game and spend
a few hours in pleasant comradeship.
Let's go for a big attendance on
Home-coming Day.

Maryland Football loam

Gets Publicity in Paris

There is international as well a.-
national interest shown in the Mary-
land football team and its coach,
"Cuiley" Byrd. This was indicated
by a clipping from the Paris edition
of the New For/,- Herald sent home
by Dr. Auchter. head of our horti-
cultural department, who i.- tin

horticultural and agricultural sessions
held in Europe this summer. The
article originated at College Park and
was distributed far and wide by the
Associated Press. It told about the

This also means that
other sports there will
be on the up-prade,
and Maryland will
meet them in every-
thing they have.

Cross-Country Losses Hurt

The cross-country squad has only
a fair outlook for this year, due to
the loss of two aces from last year's
team. Urban Lindsay, captain of
last year's team, and "Jack" Savage,
captain of the present team, have
been lost, the former through gradu-
ation and the latter by the effect of
an old operation. Ralph Shure looms
as the possible mainstay of the pres-
ent squad.

A baby party was given to the new*
girls at Maryland. The freshman
were dressed as children, and when
they had performed all the required
stunts they were given lollypops
and cookies.

The Yale score is entirely mis-

won the game, for it marched up and
down the field, never being held for
downs, but fumbled away touchdowns
and presented them to Yale by the
same method. It was just one of those
days when it could not hold on to
the ball.

Maryland also greatly outgained
North Carolina, but lost out on a
couple of slips in a tilt that for
thrills had few. if any, equals.

St. John's was given a much worse
beating than the score indicates, al-
though the Old Line rooters had cold
chills running up and down their
spines in the late stages of the con-
tot.

There was no game last season, a

on a date, but it is planned to make
the contest an annual affair in the

Many Old Line followers will re-
call the game at College Park in L925,
which Maryland apparently had "sew-
up,' only in toss it away in the
last couple of minutes. The Old Liners
were leading, 3 to 0, and were march-
ing steadily toward the Generals'
I, when the Maryland quarter-back
got in a hurry to score and called

for a forward pass. Instead of get-
ting: it to a Maryland man, he tossed
into the arms of Palmer, the fleetest
rival on the field, and the ball was

run back to a point from where Wash-
ing-ton and Lee was able to count a
touchdown and pull the game out
of the lire.

It has been said, and not facetious-
ly, that the -Maryland player in ques-
tion was voted a Washington and
Lee letter that fall. "He was the
best player we had that day," a
Washington and Lee athletic official
said.

At any rate, that is history, and
we hope none of those who come to
College Park November 8 will witness
anything like it.

But. if there is anything in past
performances, a great game should
be on tap for Home-coming. Mary-
land, in the language of Roy Octavus
Cohen, will be meeting one of its
enemies it is most fondest of.

PERSONALS

"Roy" Deibert, '27, is employed by
the Baldwin Manufacturing- Company,
located at Klks Mills. He recently
married Miss Ruth Lawrence, the

SITPER-DANCE

Nothing could have happened that
would have been more pleasant and
satisfactory to the alumni on Home-
coming day than the Alumni Supper-
Dance. It bridged over that time be-
tween the game and the annual Home-
coming Dance in such wonderful
fashion that nothing but laudatory
comment was expressed. The gym
was open immediately following the
game and the supper-dance began at
5:30 I'. M. Here the alumni met
with friends and faculty of all groups
and affiliations of the University. It
was a real informal and congenial
alumni "get-together," an affair that
ended a wonderful day in "tip-top"
fashion.

STRAY ALUMNI

When the notice in regard to the
tickets for the Navy-Maryland foot-
ball game at Annapolis was sent out,
it revealed some interesting facts as
well as caused some confusion and
embarrassment. Many last-minute
requests came from people who were
runner students of Maryland, but,
not having graduated, did not think
they were eligible for the Alumni
Association. Also, there were many
who were graduates but who were
not on the mailing list, due to their
negligence in not sending in then
change of address. Therefore, they did

not receive the notice. This caused the
athletic office much confusion and
embarrassment, as the notice read
that requests would be filled in the
order received, as there were not
enough tickets to go around.

This only goes to prove that it is
very necessary to keep constantly in
touch with the alumni office for fear
that you may lose out when some-
thing important is >r<>injr on.

The alumni office will make every
effort to check on the list; however,
this can not be done efficiently if the
members do not keep the office in-
formed when there is a change in
address.

This is a warning; it" your address

is not correct, notify this office at
once; if you know of any one who was
a former student at any time and not
on the list, send in his name.

President Pearson and Family

Dr. and Mrs. Pearson and their daughter Ruth were among the loyal Mary-
land routers on Home-coming Hay. Dr. Pearson feels that Home-coming Day
is a day that should receive the support of the entire University. Dr. and Mrs.
Pearson also attended the Alumni Home-coming Supper-Dance where they met
many of the old and new grads in an informal and congenial way.

Dignitaries At Maryland
Navy Game Get Bouquets

Floral bouquets of American Beauty
roses were presented to Admiral and
Mrs. S. S. Robinson, of the U. S.
Naval Academy, and to Governor
Albert ('. Ritchie, of Maryland, at the
Navy-Maryland football game at
Annapolis. Three demoiselles from
the co-educational branch of the Uni-
versity made the presentation while
the University band played an appro-
priate accompaniment. The young
ladies were: Misses Eleanor Baumel,
Ada Conklin, and Elizabeth Norton.

THREE LOYAL ROOTERS

Dr. Bomberger, Senator Tydings
Dr. FRIEDENWAHL

These three loyal rooters can boast
of seeing .Maryland play many a foot-
ball game at home and abroad. Here
they are on the bench when the Home-
Coming game arrived.

Dr. F. I>. Bomberger, '94, now a

member of the athletic board of the
University misses only those games
that unavoidable circumstances pro-
hibit.

Senator M. K. TydingS, '1(1. can
always be seen on the Maryland bench
when the team is playing within a
range that does not take him far
from official duties.

Dr. E. P.. Friedenwahl, an instructor
as well as an alumnus of the Medical
School, said that jroing to the Mary-
land football Karnes is his way of

spending a vacation, lie boasts of the
fact that he has not missed a game
that Maryland has played this year,

and doesn't intend to if possible.

turning to the campus. Following the
luncheon, the annual meeting of the
"M" <lub was held in the Home Eco-
nomic^ Building. Several interesting
topics were discussed and prominent
among them was the resolution by
Mr. James M. Burns that the club
sponsor the choosing of an all-time
Maryland football team by the entire
Alumni Association; this was accepted
with favor and interest. The entire
personnel was reelected to serve an-
other term.

The Home-coming game with Wash-
ington and Lee, although one-sided,
was a spectacular and interesting
game for the alumni for they saw
many gridders show their worth under
fire.

Supper-Dance Popular

Following the game, the feature
of the day began at 5:30 in the Ritchie
Gym, the Home-coming Alumni Sup-
per-Dance, where the grads of all
classes, organizations, anil affiliations
had a real "Maryland Get-together."
Actually it was a juvenile get-together
in a unique and congenial way. The
gym was decorated in black and gold
streamers forming a dome. Around
the edge of ihe gym there were tables
arranged in the style of a Fifth
Avenue cabaret with ample room for
dancing. The tables were decorated
in black and gold with novelty nap-
kins with athletic figures on them and
novelty hats for each guest, which
added much color to the occasion. The
alumni sat about the tables, smoked,
talked, and danced and for three hours
In vd the life of kings.

The annual Home-coming Dance be-
gan at !< P. M. when the alumni were
joined by many of the undergraduates
who added the youthful spice and
gayety that ended for the old grad
a most joyful day that will be well
remembered.

Many of the old grads said when
leaving, "Those who have missed this
day have missed a wonderful time."

Md. Is Real Rival of Middies

When Maryland and Navy clashe I
at football on November 22 at \
napolis in the first of a three-game
es that doubtless will go on indefi-
nitely, it brought the OKI Liners and
Midshipmen together in all sports that
both support.

While they also meet in baseball,

track, tennis, rille-shooting, and ci

country, it is the basket-ball and la-
crosse battles that have provided the
high spots besides football. Basket-
ball and lacrosse occupy feature pla
on the Naval Academy lists.

Prior to this season. Maryland and
Navy had met five times in football,
the first time being when the "Aggies"
unphed back in 1888. Navy won
in games of 1905, 1906, 1916, and
1917.

"Curley" Byrd played in the 1905
and 1906 games, while "Bill" Ingram,
Navy coach, was the Middies' star in
the 1917 clash.

land, but the Middies' yardage in-
cluded Kirn's sprint and most of the
ground covered by the Annapolitans
was around midfield territory while
the Old Liners' was mainly in the
enemy's domain.

It was a tough game to lose, but
Maryland lost no prestige in the nar-
row defeat and gained many more
friends by its game comeback after
the sudden and terrific jolt at the
start.

Although the Johns Hopkins same

giving Day and the clash with Vandei
liilt at Nashville two days later in
tervenea between the Navy battle and

the clash with Western Maryland,

December '">, in the big Monumental

City amphitheater, it is the game with

the last-named team that looms as
the big affair for State fa i

Maryland, while it hopes to "take"
Western Maryland, has not been abb
to make any special preparation for
the contest, in view of the games that.

in such quick order, precede the Balti-
more battle which will wind up the
Old Liners' lli-game schedule.

The Old Liners and Green Terrors

have met a good many times on the
gridiron in past years, with Mary
land having a big edge, although the
Complete record has not yet been run.

However, since football relations were

renewed, two years ago under a four-
Near agreement, the teams have bin
ken even. Maryland won. 13-6, at Col-
lege Park; Western Maryland won last
fall. 12-0, in the Baltimore Stadium.
Both games were real battles.

This time Maryland will meet a
heavier and more experienced Terrior
eleven than it ever has played before
and doubtless will go into the COI '
the "under-dog."

"Curley" Byrd as
ual has a finely coached
team, with a clever va-
riety of plays, and the
Old Liners are in no
way terrified by the

are willing to admit

their rivals are all that

TOWARD ORGANIZATION

We like to fight, we like to conquer,
we like to learn about new adventures.
we like to hear new ideas, we like to
meet other people, and above all wo
like to see old friends. Group organi-
zations that have their "get-togethers"
make possible all these. It is the
groups that make toward organization
of a mighty association.

yes, We are making mighty strides
toward cooperation, but it is sporadi-
cally, here and there by individual
efforts, instead of with a common,
unified purpose.

We need more groups organized
where none exists at present. Those
that are organized will have more
"get-togethers" to strengthen the
bonds of friendship and loyalty be-
tween us all.

We have the vision, but do not know
how to realize it. The vision is the
perfect organization of an Alumni
Association. This will mean every
alumnus and alumna doing his or her
part of the organizing work by put-
ting their shoulders to the wheel.

Philadelphia Group To Meet

The Philadelphia group of th-.
Alumni Association will hold its an-
nual "get-together" dinner February
1. as announced by John P. Mudd, '07,
president of the group. The time and
place will be announced in next issue.

Cumberland Group Reports

The office has received a report
from Dr. Leo Franklin, president of
the Cumberland group, that arrange-
ments are being made for their an-
nual gathering, The date will appear
in the next issue.

Frank T. Chesnut, '24, and Miss

Lee Made Member of

Honorary Fraternity

Hon. E. Brooke Lee, soldier and

cently made a member of the Uni-
versity of Maryland chapter of Omi-
cron Delta Kappa, national honorary
fraternity for those who have shown
real accomplishment in leadership.

Mr. Lee is a son of Hon. H. Blair
Lee, long a leader of affairs in the
State and former United States Sen-
ator.

Mr. Lee has been State Comptrol-
ler and Speaker of the House of Dele-
gates, but recently gave up his active
political associations to turn his full
attention to the Northwest Washing-
ton Realty Co., of which he is presi-
dent. It is the largest realty company
in the State.

\\ hen the world war broke out, Mr.
Lee, then a captain in the Maryland
National Guard, went to France where
he served so valiantly as to receive
the Distinguished Service Cross. He
returned to America a colonel.

PLANS BEINC FORMULATED

FOR REUNION OF ALl AIM

(Continued from Page 1)

greatest reunion in history the ques-
tion has arisen as to whether a date
other than Monday of Commencement
week, which has heretofore been alum-
ni day, would not be more suitable.
The alumni board has sent communi-
cations to all class representatives
and group leaders, giving several pos-
sible dates t" choose from, in an effort
to ascertain, in their opinion, the most
practicable date from the majority
standpoint.

The alumni beard will meet shortly
to choose this date. The date selected

will appear m the February issue of
the NEWS. Preliminary arrangements
will begin immediately.

Byrd Chosen President

By Dixie Grid Coaches

II. c. ("Curley") Byrd, who began
his 19th year as athletic leader and
football coach at Maryland this fall,
and who in addition holds the more
important position of assistant to the
president, has been chosen president
of the Southern Conference Football
Coaches' Association.

Maryland, through "Curley," was
one of the charter members of the
Southern Conference, and he has been
a factor in the affairs of the organi-
zation since it was founded more than
10 years ago.

Membership in the conference has
made possible alliances that other-
wise would not have been brought
about and has greatly strengthened
Maryland's athletic position. Its rules
doubtless are the strictest of any or-
ganization in the country.

FOOTBALL SEASON

HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
(Continued from Page 1)

Liners were up against more experi-
enced squads and it was only because
they were a well-drilled, fighting com-
bination that thev fared as well as
they did.

Some Pleasing Victories

Victories were scored over Johns
Hopkins, traditional rival; Washington
and Lee, before the old grads on
Home-coming Day, and the "Big
Four" of the Old Dominion, these
being, in addition to the Generals,
Virginia, V. M. I., and V. P. I.

These four wins gave Maryland a
4 to 2 rating and seventh place in the
Southern Conference, as the Old
Liners were nosed out by North Caro-
lina and beaten by Vanderbilt in other
tilts within the Dixie organization.

Maryland gained nearly as much
ground as Yale in bowing to the Elis
at New Haven; outgained North Caro-
lina in losing a close decision; more
than matched Navy in ground gain-
ing in a 6 to defeat; gave Vander-
bilt a fine battle, and conceded only
a slight edge to Western Maryland's
powerful and highly experienced, un-
beaten eleven that scored in the last
quarter to win, 7 to 0.

On All-State Elevens
Maryland was well represented on
the various all-State elevens as picked
by Baltimore writers. "Al" Pease,
end, and "Jess" Krajcovic, guard, were
unanimous choices; "Shorty" Chal-
mers, back, was on most of the teams,
and "Bozey" Berger and "Ray" Pop-
pieman, backs, and "Ernie" Carliss,
tackle, were picked by one or more of
the experts for their first combinations.
"Jack" Norris, end. was on all the
second teams, and "Skippy" Faber,
center, was runner-up selection on one
squad.

Only five men will be lost from the
Old Line 1930 squad of 37. "Bill"
Evans, back, and "Bill" Fisher, tackle,
will be the only regulars to go, along
with John Pitzer, back, and "Joe"
I leckman and Paul Butz, line reserves,
who did not get into many games.

Well and Wins Twice

Although they won only two of five
games during the past football cam-

Virginia and North Carolina fresh-
men were beaten and close games lost
to the V. M. I., Washington and Lee,

Twenty-seven of the rookies stuck
to the finish of the campaign and some

B3 a conversation with the offi-
cers of the Diamondback, a student
publication, it was learned that many
alumni were on its list of subscribers.

This interest in the student activities
by the alumni prompted the publish-
ing of the campus notes in the Alumni
News. The percentage of subscribers
may be small, compared to the number
of alumni on our mailing list, but it
docs show that they are interested in
the activities of the student body.
Many alumni nearby no doubt would
wish to attend certain student activi-
ties which they themselves were in-
terested in while students. Attend-
ing student functions also presents an
opportunity for the student to learn
more about the purpose of the Alumni
Association, and also to keep the in-
terest and spirit of the alumni alive.

The annual report, published in
School (nid Society, shows, that on
November 1, last, there were 578,671
full-time students attending 4:>1 in-
stitutions of higher learning of all
types in the United States. This was
an increase of three and one-half per
cent, over the total for November 1.
1929. The three leaders in enrollment
are California, Columbia, and Illinois.

The year 1931 should be an out-
standing one in the history of the
Alumni Association. The Grand lie-
union of all classes at College Park,
on June <i. is expected to be the most
interesting and outstanding feature
of the year. Also, the graduation of
the largest class in the history of
the institution will be of importance.
In addition to these important events
of the year, the more important fea-
ture is the increase in the in1
and feeling of the alumni in the
growth and affairs of the association
and the university. It is hoped by
.,t ion officer and the adminis-
tration heads of the university that
such interest and feeding of the alumni
will continue to grow as their assis-
tance is of great importance in the
building "t" a bigger and better uni-
ity.

At the time that this was written,
■ ral alumni groups had scheduled
their annual tret-together dinners, but
> had been held. The Frederick
group was dated for the .'!0th of Jan-
uary while Philadelphia and Cumber-
land were to hold theirs February 4
and 7. respectively. The group "get-
togethers" will afford an exceptionally

i opportunity to arouse the inter-
est of the alumni, to see old friends,
and pave the way for the greatest re-
union of Marylanders in history, at
College Park in June. Other groups
will have "get-togethers" later in the

on.

Is Football Overemphasized?

All this talk about overemphasis
in football brought a statement from
Dr. R. A. Pearson, president of the
university.

"There is no overemphasis on foot-
ball at the University of Maryland,"
declared Dr. Pearson. "I feel that most
of the other institutions of the South
are not overemphasizing the sport."

"The question of overemphasis in
football," he continued, "is largely
a matter of what is meant by over-
emphasis and consequently opinions
of individuals would differ to the ex-
tent of their varying points of view.
The same question might be asked
about any subject taught in a uni-
versity. You could never get a pro-
fessor of chemistry, for example, to
think that too much time is being
given to laboratory courses, or, in
other words, that his subject is being
overemphasized.

"On the contrary, the professor in
English or psychology might easily
think, and in many cases actually does
think, that chemistry is overempha-
sized. Of course, I speak of these
particular subjects only as a compari-
son," he said.

"Overemphasis in football in any
university is entirely a matter of ad-
ministration, just as it is in other
phases of university work. It is a
problem for each individual and ul-
timately will be solved by each insti-
tution in its own way and probably
the solution in all cases will not be
by the same methods," he concluded.

DATE SET FOR GRAND REUNION IS JUNE 6

inauguration of the fund at the annual
meeting. The purpose of the fund
will be, "For the Good of the Univer-
sity."

The names and addresses of each
class will be sent to the class repre-
sentatives that they may use their
influence in writing to and encourag-
ing other members of their class to
return for the Grand Reunion.

The cooperation of all alumni
groups, class representatives, sorori-
. and fraternities is to be asked
for in an effort to make this the great-
est reunion of Marylanders in history.

Frosh prom date is set for February
20 and will be held in the Ritchie
Gym from 10 until 2.

The annual Military Ball will be
held March G in the Ritchie Gym as
announced by Henry Whiting, Lieut.
Col. of the R. O. T. C. unit. Scabbard
and Blade, honorary military fraterni-
ty, will at that time announce their
pledges.

Plans for the improvement of the
service at the university dining-hall
are rapidly going ahead, and in their
tentative form include the assignment
of a host at each table to distribute
the food, entertainment, such as mu-
sic and singing, during the meals and
occasional placing of girl students at
tables with the men.

After the opening of the second se-
mester the student government will
sponsor the resumption of the dances
following basket-ball game held in
the Ritchie Gym.

The Greek fraternities are planning
their series of basket-ball contests.
The contests will be held under the
supervision of the Interfraternity
Council. Dates as yet have not been
arranged. Call or write the alumni
office and the dates will be given as
soon as known.

William Kricker, of Sparrows Point,
has been appointed the chairman of
the Junior Prom Committee. The
date of the prom has not been set as
yet, but it will probably be the latter
part of March. The prom will usher
in a gala week-end, which will be
followed by house parties of the
fraternities and sororities, culminat-
ing with the annual interfraternity
tea dance in the Ritchie Gym.

A committee has been selected to
make arrangements for the Calvert
Cotillion which will be held Friday,
February 27. Arley Unger is chair-
man of the committee.

Elizabeth Mims, who hails from the
western State of Oklahoma, has
gained a place of prominence in stu-
dent leadership.

Two new fraternity houses, valued
jointly at approximately $75,000, have
recently been completed near the
campus. Delta Sigma Phi's new edi-
fice, a stone's throw from Silvester
Hall and situated on Wellesley Ave.,
extended, is the most recent structure.
Alpha Gamma Rho, completed and oc-
cupied before the Christmas recess,
is located in College Park, on Prince-
ton Ave.

The Foot light Club, a dramatic or-
ganization, is expected to offer a mys-
tery thriller as the first 1981 produc-
tion.

University of Wisconsin opened a
new Field House, t hi' structure to seat

Governor Ritchie, in his message,
d, "The hospital is absolutely es

ply as fully as possible the need of
hospital facilities for persons of mod-

Coach Geary Eppley of the track

Eppley lost five of his six leading

facing a difficult task.

Maryland will take part in the in-

The outdoor schedule will be about
the same as last year witti Navy com-

fur the Short Course Agriculture stu-
dents aa well as those taking the full
four-year course. He attended these
lectures, with the permission of Prof.
W. T. L. Taliaferro, and was so much
impressed with them that he became

interested in the poultry field and

decided to specialize in the subject.

When he graduated, in 1911 with a
B. S. degree, he presented the first

thesis that was ever written at Mary-
land on the subject of poultry. For
era] months Following his gradua-
tion he was engaged in dairy work
in the Maryland Experiment Station.
In August, 1912, he received an ap-
pointment as junior animal husband-
man on poultry investigations in the
United States Department of- Agricul-
ture, which position was held until
1920. At that time, he resigned from
the Department of Agriculture to as-
in the organization work of the
National Poultry Institute, in which
he now holds the important position
of secretary and treasurer. In ad-
dition to being secretary of the in-
stitute, he is business manager of the
National Poultry Journal, a publica-
tion devoted to poultry, which is pub-
lished by the institute.

In 1913, he married Miss Edna Sib-
ley Hut son and they have made their
home in Washington, D. C, constant-
ly since 1914.

BASKETERS CAPTURE

14 OF 18 CONTESTS

(Continued from Pagi

In view of the fact that the team
was hard hit by the loss of players,
through graduation, withdrawal, and
injury and lacked reserve strength,
the showing was really remarkable.

Practically all the basket-ball was
played by five men — Ed. Ronkin and

Shorty Chalmers, forwards; Jack
Morris, center, and liozey Berger and
Charlie -May, guards.

Frenchy Cohan, Hob Wilson, and

Bus Pitzer were the leading reserves,

With Fred Stieber and Skippy Faber

being the only others to be with the

id at the finish.

linger and Ronkin were picked as
all-State players by Paul Menton,
noted official and expert, who also is
sporting editor of The Evening Sun,
of Baltimore. Berger was labeled
the best player in the State and Men-
ton found it difficult to choose between
Ronkin and Chalmers in awarding
Maryland its second man.

Berger was the leading point-scorer
with 172, the others counting as fol-
lows: Ronkin, 141; Chalmers, 121;
Norris, 117; May, 31; Cohan, 11; Wil-
son, 10; Pitzer, 1.

Boxing Team Fares Well

For Its Debut Campaign

Maryland's test season in boxing
proved more of a success than was
expected, the Old Liners, who lost
all three of their meets, winning 8
bouts in 21. Washington and Lee
was met twice and V. M. I. once.

Bernard Keener, a welterweight,
was the only Old Liner to win three
bouts. Francis Holloway, light-heavy;
Jimmy Decker, bantam; Karl Mech,
middleweight; Ted Keenan, heavy-
weight, who won his only contest;
Frank Isemann, and one or two others
did some good work.

Coach William Whipp now is work-
ing with his pupils, looking to the fu-
ture, and should have a fairly well-
balanced organization by next year.

JOHN W. MITCHELL, '09

We regret to announce the death of
John W. Mitchell, of the Class of 1906,
who died April 10, 1929. His death
was not known until a reply from his
administrators was received in an-
swer to a classmate's letter.

Mr. Mitchell is survived by his wife,
Mrs Edna H. Mitchell, now residing
at 609 Carolina Street, Key West, Fla.

"General" Mitchell, as he was bet-
ter known by his schoolmates, grad-
uated in the civil engineering course
from the old Maryland Agricultural
College with the class of 1906. For
many years he was connected with the
engineering department of the Florida
East Coast Railway. The name "Gen-
eral," it was learned, was an inherited
name from a relative of the class of
1904, Walter Mitchell, the original
"General Mitch."

Dr. Clenworth Sturgis

We regret to announce the death of
Dr. Glenworth Sturgis, '05, who died
in August, L929. His death was not
known until John P. Mudd, '07, ac-
cidentally came in contact with Dr.
Sturgis' brother, a printer in Phila-
delphia.

Dr. Sturgis was a prominent educa-
tor, churchman, and civic worker and
his death was a shock to his many
friends and a great blow to the Perth
Amboy High School of which he was
principal.

Dr. Sturgis was born in the State
of Delaware in 1882. When he was
nine years old his family moved to
Snow Hill, Md. He graduated from
the old .Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege in 1905 and a year later secured
his Master of Science degree. In 1909
he received his Ph. D. degree from
his alma mater.

He is survived by a wife, -Mrs India
Sturids, and three daughters, Winifred,
Margaret, and Kathryn, and one
brother.

NEW COLLEGE LIBRARY

IS OFFICIALLY OPENED

i from Page i <

ks. catalogue room, and librarian's
office will be located on the second
lloor.

Will Have Reading-room

The beautiful reading-room is de-

iiig of special mention. It is a
large and spacious room, with ample
windows on all sides that provide the
much desired natural litfht for read-
ing and study. The electric li^'htin^
tem represents the latest and best

aa in indirect artificial lighting.

Two hundred and eighty-six per

can be accommodated at the -l large

reading tallies.

The interior decorating scheme is

of the Colonial order. The walls are

painted Colonial cream and the win-
dow hanging tan mohair. The
finish of all woodwork is walnut.

The capacity of the new library
stacks is 50,000 hooks, and as at pri
cut the University has but a little
i 30,000 volumes it can be seen
that reasonable provision has been
made for expansion. Bowever, the
librarian reports that many new and
valuable volumes are to be added in
the near future.

There is also located in the library
building the new private branch tele-
phone exchange for the entire Uni-
versity, which went into effect April
1. The number for the University on
the new exchange is Berwyn 80.

the family. Robert (Bunt) Watkins
presided as toastmaster. Dr. Ray-
mond A. Pearson, president of the
University ot .Maryland, gave greet-
ing remarks. Coach Burton (Ship)
Shipley gave a reminiscent talk about
winning the tournament and each
member of the squad was heard from.
H. C. (Curley) Byrd, assistant to the
president and athletic director, intro-
duced the guest of honor. Mr. Miller
spoke from his own experiences in
college at Notre Dame and also from
observation as a coach at Indiana and
Navy. Some of his remarks about
the value of participation in athletics
were exceptionally worth while.

"We hear a
good deal about
overemphasis
in college ath-
letics," said
Miller, "yet I
have heard no
man define just
what is meant
by overempha-
sis. Certainly
I do not know
what is covered
by the term.''
Mr. Mill e r
spoke of the
fine athletic
relation ship
that exists
between Navy
and Maryland
and that Navy is looking forward
to the football game to be played in
Washington, October 10 next, and
right now they are building for tiiat
game, "because we Navy people want
to win that game just as much as
you fellows do."

Toddy Riggs, '20, athletic director
of St. John's CoUege, Dr. A. W. Val-
entine, secretary of the Mary]:
medical alumni of Washington, D. C,
Dr. T. 1!. Symons, '02, secretary
the Genera] Alumni Association, also
gave interesting talks.

The banquet room was decorated
with Navy and Maryland banners and
pennants. Entertainment was fur-
nished by Yoeman and McClue, radio
performers, from station W'MAi .

Election for the ensuing year was
as follows: Wellstood While. '05,
president; Dr. C. W. Valentine, vice-

pn sident; Chauncey 111 own. se< retary-

treasurer. Eddie Ruppert and II. I'.

(Moon) Hartshorn were elected to

Wellstood White

the board of directors to fill the va-
cancies of the expired terms. This
closed the greatest "get-together"
i held by the Old Line Club.

Wellstood White, newly elected
president, was born and raised in
Montgomery County, fiiaduated with
the class of 1905 in civil engineering
at the Maryland Agricultural College,
now the College Park Schools of the
University. Since .eraduation, his ac-
tivities in business affairs have given
him eminent success. At present he
is manager of the nationally known
Dulin and Martin Department Store
of Washington, D. C.

When the United States entered
the World War, he immediately en-
listed and was sent to France, as an
officer, where his good work gained
for him many promotions. He re-
tinned to America a major and at
present has the rank of Lieut.-Col.
in the Officers Reserve Corps.

The Value of a Diploma

' I '///*' VALUE of a diploma depends upon tin standing of the insti-
-*■ tittiini that issues it. If tin i nst it at iu,i grows stronger, and more
'I, tin diplomas which it has issued will be prized more highly.
If it languishes, the diplomas will h< prized less anil less. So here is
a reason why alumni always will he interested in tin /not/res* of their
Alma Mater and H is an argument for their help in unit proper way.

President Raymond A. Pearson.

Sen. M. E. Tidings, '10,
Grand Reunion Leader

Senator Millard E. Tydings, '10,
i m r eminent member of Congress, was
the father of the "Grand Reunion"
thought. "Chief" Tydings, as his
classmates call him, said last year at
the annual meeting, "I have been to
many alumni meetings, and yet I
haven't seen as many faces here as
I would like to see. There are many
friends in other classes that all of us
would enjoy meeting. In 1931, let's
have a "Grand Reunion" of all classes
and make it the greatest gathering of
Marylanders in history!"

Senator Tydings is one of Mary-
land's outstanding alumni who never
stands back when he can be of assis-
tance to his Alma Mater. What a
great day it will be for "Chief" Ty-
dings to see a thousand faces on the
campus at College Park !

DON'T MISS IT!

Our Faculty

Our faculty are deeply interested
in the return of former students of
Maryland on Alumni Day. The deans
of our respective Colleges and several
older members of the faculty, from
the standpoint of service, are sending
their expressions about the Grand
Reunion through the columns of the
News, with the hope that many for-
mer students of Maryland will be
present, June 6th.

From Prof. W. T. L. Taliaferro

Dear Mr. Editor: May I, as an
honorary alumnus, be allowed a few
words in regard to the Grand Alumni
Reunion to be held at College Park on
the sixth of next June?

What do we celebrate on that oc-
casion? The birth and growth of an
original Maryland idea in education
which has slowly but steadily im-
pressed itself upon the world, and
here at College Park has developed
a great State University which now
in its adolescence stands in the front
rank of institutions of learning and
research, and whose mature grandeur
and usefulness no prophet may foretell.

Why do we celebrate? Because
every alumnus is, and should so con-
sider himself, an integral part of the
University. He has helped in its
growth and he must share in its glory.

The relations of an alumnus to his
college are at once those of son to
mother and parent to child, involving
reverence, gratitude, love, joy of as-
sociation, hope, promise, and antici-
pation. No Maryland alumnus will
fail in any of these qualities.

No friendships or other ties are
closer or more strongly knit than
those made on the college campus.
Hardships, defeats, achievements, vic-
tories, jokes, tricks, pranks, hopes,
all bind together in indissoluble chains
those who have shared them in pain
or pleasure. What occasion so oppor-
tune as the Grand Reunion to renew
these old associations, to live once
more with kindled spirits the glorious
years of campus life and draw there-
from the inspiration and determina-
tion to ever revere our Alma Mater,
and. as loyal sons, to advance her
fame and fortune? Respectfully.

W. T. L. Taliaferro.

College of Education

To the Alumni:

The University regards the "home-
coming" of its former students on
Alumni Day as one of the most im-
portant events of its calendar. It is
.ed upon as our opportunity to
bring alumni in closer touch with the
progress the University is making.
We also feel that the bonds of loyalty
are greatly strengthened among old
friends. The University, to me. is
like the old homestead in which the
fires are kept burning, the lights are
bright, and. as the family grows,
there is increased hospitality for all.
June '). next, is the day for the
.nd Reunion of all former students
of the University. I hope that every
alumnus and alumna will find it pos-
sible to have the pleasure of spending
day with old friends at the
Un:

The College of Education extends
to each of you a cordial invitation to

Looking forward to a delightful day
and the pleasure of meeting you, I am

William P. Cole, Jr.. 10

• w All MM :

1 have been asked to presenl a mes-
sage to the alumni regarding our
"Grand Reunion" to be held on June ,;
next.

What sur-
prises me is
the number of

graduates from
College P a r k

who constantly

a n d justly
so — boast of
their Alma Ma-
ter and never
hesitate to cap-
italize in one
way or another

the value of
their diploma,
and yet. are
unwilling ap-
parently to
give one day or
a part thereof
to their Alumni
A - sociation.
True, a reunion provides an opportun-
ity to meet old college chums and to
reminisce over the greatest period of
life, but, more important than that, the
presence of each graduate at such
meetings means new ideas, better and
stronger cooperation and additional
encouragement toward the success of
the main purpose of our Alumni As-
sociation, i. e. the upbuilding of the
University of Maryland.

I find so many, many graduates of
College Park who are willing to help
in every way possible, whether i>
financial or otherwise. Let each grad-
uate from College Park who happens
to read this edition of the ALUMNI
NEWS, pause for a moment and reflect
upon those days when he or she was
at College Park and in doing so con-
clude to take a day off on June •'..
come to College Park and not only
enjoy the splendid program arrai..
for his or her pleasure, but at the
meeting of the alumni give advice and
thought as to what in their judgment
is worth while for the Alumni A
ciation to do in helping the University.
College Park has experienced phe-
nomenal growth in the last twenty
years and today it rivals in standing,
reputation and general rating, the best
educational institutions of our coun-
try. Show our appreciation of what
the administrative body and

faculty have been doing through lib-
eral contribution I and pains-
taking effort, and join your class in
the Reunion College Park

As chemistry is Dr. Skinner's pro-

If it is possible to do so. Dr. Skinner

College of Arts and Sciences

Alumni of Maryland:

Since the strength of an institu-
tion in large measure depends upon
the strength of the bond of loyalty
existing between the institution and
the alumni body I am, naturally, in
favor of gatherings of the alumni or
of any other method which would in-
crease the strength of that bond.

In regard to the meeting on .June C,
I sincerely trust that it may lie not
only a source of pleasure and gratifi-
cation to the alumni, to whom I send
my warmest greetings, but an a
of great value to the University.

In conclusion, may I express the
hope that hereafter a time may be
selected for this meeting which will
enable the members of the Alumni
.ciation to come in contact with
the entire student body, obtain t
hand knowledge of the activities of
the University, and take under con-
ration such other th i
interest them. It is not possible to

Old gratis who see the Varsity la-

Hopkins in Baltimore on May 23 and
Navy at Annapolis a week later, in
the last two games of the season,
doubtless will view a combination that
will put up a real battle.

Jack Faber faced a great problem
al the outset of the season, due to the
toni the great team that wal-
loped Hopkins and Navy so soundly
in the last two tilts of the 1930 sea-
son. His defense, especially, was
wrecked, and that problem has not
yet been solved.

His attack has been able to carry

the team along in the fust four

and IViim State. 12 to 0.

games are over, the Old Liners should

Smith Doing A Good Job
With Frosh Lacrossers

"Ed" Smith, who used to play cen-
ter in great style in lacrosse for Mary-
land some years back, is doing - a good
job with the yearling stick squad for
the fourth successive season.

Smith sprang a big surprise in his
opening game by defeating Baltimore
City College with his green outfit by
a 3 to 2 score after the experienced
schoolboys had led, 2 to 0, at the end
of the first half.

He will have developed some ca-
pable material for Jack Faber for next
on before the campaign is ended.
His team will play five games in all.

Faber's line-up has been as follows:

Fred tnvernezzi, goal; Joe Deckman, point:

Snell, cover point : Charlie May, first

defense; Morris Nicholson, second defense!

.lini Loughran, third defense; Gordon l'ugh,

center; George Hockensmith, third attack;

Jimmy Lee, second attack; Vincent Colosimo,
first attack; Ed Ronkin, out home; Fred Stie-
ber, in home.

Norris may replace Nicholson and the other
leading players are: Ed Harlan and Hill Wood.

Men's, Girls' Field
Houses Under Way

Both Due To Be Ready By Next Fall.

Structure On Boulevard To

Seat About 4,500

"Work has begun on two field houses,
one for the men and one for the girls,
at Maryland and both are due to be
ready early next fall.

While the girls', of course, will be
much smaller than the men's, it will
be ample for the co-eds, as the ratio
is about one of the fair sex to four
of the sterner sex at College Park.

The men's field house will be be-
tween the Washington-Baltimore Blvd.
and the new baseball diamond and will
take up more than half the space now
occupied by the eight tennis courts.
The girls' building will be on the up-
per part of the campus just north of
the old reservoir.

The men's field house will seat
around 4,500 for basket-ball games
and boxing matches and will have
dressing rooms for all the Maryland
Varsity teams in addition to ones for
the visiting athletes. There also will
be sleeping quarters for visiting
teams.

Another feature will be a faculty

exercise t n that will be open to all

members of the University staff.

The building will be 172 feet, 8
inches long and 136 feet wide.

Nine Takes Seven

Of First 12 Tilts

Maryland's baseball team has been
going along fully as well, if not bet-
than was expected this year as
it was known at the outset that the
nine had some weak spots that would
make the going rather rough.

Coach Burton Shipley's charges cap-
tured seven of their first 12 games,
■f the victories being over South-
ern Conference rivals and the other
at the expense of Harvard.

It was felt at the start of the sea-

Maryland Alumni :

I hope that every engineering alum-

in the alumni reunion on June 6.

Each should keep in mind that his
presence adds not alone to his own
enjoyment but also to that of all others
who come.

An addition to the Engineering
Building is under way which will
afford increased laboratory and class-
room space, and also provide a small
auditorium, all of which have been so
much needed.

To us of the faculty who are here,
day in and day out, will come much
inspiration from your presence.

After you have been around the
campus and met one another, please
take a moment to come in and see us
on Alumni Day. Cordially yours,

Fellow Alumni:

I personally would like to appeal to
every alumnus who attended the an-
nual meeting last year to write or
persuade another alumnus to come
hack with him this year. Also, if each
alumnus who intends to return this
year would write to several of his
classmates urjrinK them to return, it
would he a great help in arousing the
interest of every alumnus.

The success of the < I rand Reunion
depends on you, "Fellow Alumni,"
not on those in charge of the associa-
tion. It is your day to make or un-
make. Your presence alone is what
will make the Reunion enjoyable for
your friends.

E. B. (Doc) Dunbar graduated
from the old .Maryland Agricultural
College, now the College Park schools

Old Liners Break
Even On Field Day

Capture Lacrosse And Baseball Games
But Are Defeated In Track

And Tennnis

Maryland got an even break in its
hit,' field-day program on May 2, the
lacrosse team trimming Penn State,
L3 to 0, and the baseball nine turning
back West Virginia, 6 to 5, while the
track squad bowed to Navy, 25 to 101,
and the tennis players lost to William
and Mary, 2 to 7.

Eastern High of Washington won
the trophy in the open interscholastic
games with 30 points, but was closely
pressed by Central and Tech., both of
the Capital City, and Episcopal of
Virginia.

Hagerstown retained its honors won
in 1930 by taking the trophy for the
five events closed to county high
schools. It scored 14 points with Hy-
attsville second with nine.

Forty-six schools, 38 of them from
within the State, competed in the
track meets.

Maryland simply outclassed Penn
State in the lacrosse game, particu-
larly in the second half when nine
goals were scored.

Chester Ward, in the 100-yard dash,
and Charlie Fouts, in the high jump,
were the only Old Liners to get first
places in the dual meet with Navy.

Maurice Goubeau and Bill Roberts,
No. 1 and 2 singles players, were the
Maryland netmen to win.

While threatening rain, which never
came, kept down the attendance the
field-day program was run off in fine
style and from a strictly athletic
standpoint the day was a huge success.

Dr. William B. Kemp, now assis-
tant dean of the College of Agricul-
ture, who used to play foot-ball and
perform in track for Maryland, was
the chairman in charge of the inter-
scholastics.

In all, more than 500 athletes dis-
played their skill during the day.

"Old Grad," Stop! Look! Listen!

Now is the time to take that plunge.
You've been thinking, every spring
for the past (Gosh! how many
years?), that you'll sure run back to
college this June and see some of the
boys.

But, always the doubt lingered in
your mind whether you wouldn't feel
lonesome — whether any of your old
classmates and college mates would
be there too. In the end you just
didn't make the effort.

Well! you haven't got that excuse
this year. This Home-coming Day on
June 6 is going to be about as near
universal as it can be. This is no
single class reunion, it is a gathering
of the clans from the first class to the
latest.

Yep! your class will be represented,
too — if you will stop shivering on the
bank like "September Morn" and will
get into the swim. Come on in, the
water's fine!
